Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The value of life can be measured by how many times your soul has been deeply stirred.
I do know one thing about me: I don't measure myself by others' expectations or let others define my worth.
My whole life, I've felt like I didn't quite measure up.
Measuring sticks try to rank some people as big and some people as small - but we aren't sizes. We are souls. There are no better people or worse people - there are only God-made souls.
I don't know that you're able to measure your aggregate wisdom as you go through life. I can't say that I ever feel that I'm sitting on top of a growing mound of wisdom.
When you start to realize life isn't fair, what do you do: curl up and die or fight every second of the way?
In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.
Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
If you walk through life in a fighting pose with your fists balled up and ready to strike, someone, someday, somewhere, is going to want to test your mettle.
You can't spend your life beating yourself up for something that happened yesterday. You die if you don't follow your desire.
